Antonio Pérez (Fetico): "The strike is politicized and the unions accuse CEOE of a blockade in the salary negotiation for which they are also responsible"

Antonio Pérez, secretary general of Fetico, expresses concerns about housing but opposes the general strike on November 11, deeming it politicized. He criticizes CCOO and UGT for failing to negotiate effectively and emphasizes the need for dialogue among unions. Pérez argues that while salary increases are necessary, they won't solve the housing crisis, which requires broader economic solutions. He advocates for a 16% salary increase over three years in the commerce sector and calls for a complementary pension plan. Pérez acknowledges some government progress but criticizes its erratic pension policies and urges future governments to foster social dialogue and improve labor laws.
